Squad24 Aug 2026

Chris Reid breaks a bone — 44 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 44 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Market24 Aug 2026

Marco Waine asks to leave Hawke's Bay United

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Market24 Aug 2026

Ryan De Vries has one foot out of the door

Terms are settled between the clubs and the rest is paperwork and a photograph. Around Hawke's Bay United they have already started talking about him in the past tense.

Squad24 Aug 2026

Words exchanged at Hawke's Bay United

Monty Nelson and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Squad24 Aug 2026

A row about effort at Hawke's Bay United

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Winston McCowatt was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Squad24 Aug 2026

Misaele Naranayanan pulls a muscle — 15 days out

The injury that keeps coming back, keeps being rushed back from, and quietly costs more careers than the dramatic ones. 15 days is the estimate; the honest figure depends on whether anybody is patient.

Market24 Aug 2026

Dane Garbett is free to find somewhere else

“I was told straight, and I would rather have it straight.” The manager at Hawke's Bay United has been clear about where Dane Garbett stands, which is more than many ever get.

Market24 Aug 2026

Southern United are about to pick up the phone

A conversation is coming this week. Hawke's Bay United will put a number on him, and from there it stops being football and becomes arithmetic.

The dugout24 Aug 2026

No hiding place for Dale Edwards

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Dale Edwards, and the manager let it.

Market10 Aug 2026

Hawke's Bay United turn down Auckland City for Michael Singh

The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

Market10 Aug 2026

Ryan De Vries has said yes to Southern United

The last thing about a transfer that is still about the player is his signature on his own terms, and it is there. Hawke's Bay United have lost him in all but the paperwork.

Transfer targets10 Aug 2026

Kosta Just will not be coming to Hawke's Bay United

Terms were offered and declined. Whether it was the wages, the role or the town, nobody at Waitakere United is saying, and nobody at Hawke's Bay United is enjoying the guessing.

Squad10 Aug 2026

Joe McCowatt signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Joe McCowatt and Hawke's Bay United agree another 4 years.

Squad10 Aug 2026

Tempers go at Hawke's Bay United

Monty Nelson was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Transfer targets10 Aug 2026

Hawke's Bay United rebuffed over Callum Boxall

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Waitakere United have kept their man, and Hawke's Bay United go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

Squad10 Aug 2026

Words at Hawke's Bay United training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Winston McCowatt is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Market10 Aug 2026

One of our own: Marco Nelson joins the Hawke's Bay United first team

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Marco Nelson is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

Market10 Aug 2026

Stefan Sutton steps up from the Hawke's Bay United academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Stefan Sutton has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.
